tempt to turn the organization into a political
machine.

CHICAGO, Sept. 15.-The representative
German paper of this city, the Stats
Zeitung, which has hitherto been in favor
of the execution Of the Anarchists, came
out this morning in an editorial somewhat
supporting communication of sentence. The
main paragraph reads as follows:
IL would be more clever IL the defense in
stead Of seeking through legal quibbles TO dis
turb and excite public opinion took advantage
OF the present prevailing interest OF the public
in order TO present a petition TO the Governor,
not for free pardon but for Communication of the
death sentence TO penal servitude. IL might be
possible that such an attempt would meet
with success but IL would have TO be understood
that In the meantime the comrades Of the con
demned men should be very well behaved and
very tranquil Sheuld they, however, continue
acting as they have done at their meetings
during the last few months they would surely
bring their comrades to the gallows

MhGARIGLR SAFE.
The State Department Will Not Ask

WASHINGTON, d. g., Sept. 15--The
Secretary of State finds no proper grounds
upon which TO demand the extradition of
McGarigle of Chicago. The fact that
McGarigle was aided to escape by British
subjects and was carried away from Chicago
in a British vessel, has no relevance in
this matter. These people will be answerable

How to See The Mountains on The
Moon.

OF course, the first thing the observer
will wish to see will be the mountains
of the moon, for everybody has heard
of them, and the most sluggish imagin.
alton is stirred by the thought that one
can look off into the sky and behold
''the eternal hills" Of another planetas
solid and substantial as our own. But
the chances are that, if left to their
own guidance, ninety-nine persons out
of hundred would choose exactly the
wrong time to see these mountains.
At any rate, that is my experience with
people who have come to look at the
moon through my telescope. Unless
warned beforehand, they invariably
wait until full moon, when the flood of
sunshine poured perpendicularly upon
the face of our satellite conceals its
rugged features as effectually rs if
veil had been drawn over them. Begin
your observations with the appearance
of the narrowest crescent of the new
moon and follow it as it gradually fills,
and then you will see how beautifully
the advancing line of lunar sunrise
reveals the mountains. over whose
slopes and peaks il is climbing, by its
ragged and sinuous outline. The OBJ
server must keep in mind the fact that
he is looking straight down upon the
tops of the lunar mountains. 1t is like
q view from balloon, only at vast
ly greater height than any balloon has
ever attained. Even with powerful
telescope the observer sees the moon
at an apparent distance of several hum
dred miles, while with field glass
magnifying six diameters, the moon
appears as if forty thousand miles off.
The apparent distance with Galileo's
telescope was eight thousand miles.
Recollect how when seen from great
height the rugosities of the earth's sur
face fatten out and disappear, and
then try to imagine how the highest
mountains on the earth would look if
you were suspended forty thousand
miles above them, and you will, per-
haps, rather wonder at the fact that
the moons mountains can be seen at
all. .-'' Astronomy Nth an Opera Glass,

Drinking Saratoga water.

It is an interesting sight to sit for
fifteen minutes in front of the counter
where the water is handed out to vis-
itors. Especially is this sight interest
ing during the forenoon when the
regular visitors have crawled out of
sight in their rooms at the hotels and
thirty or fifty car loads of excursionists
pour into the park. Bilious looking
old men drink with more of an effort
than all other comers. They invariably
gulp down half glassful of water, lean
heavily on their canes, or place their
disengaged hands over their stomachs
as the case may be, roll their eyes
lspasmodically, and act just as If they
feared the water would result in an ex-
plosion on assimilating with unknown
fluids of the astronomical region
Anon an old lady will force down a
swollow or two; then she will close her
eyes, make wry faces, and shake her

observed to declare that the "Saratoga

the water in the old well on the farm.u
Still another grew indignant and an
lnounced that he would not be imposed
upon. "Needn't think 'cause | look

The Keea for Central American
Canal.


Some may still ask. is canal or 9
ship-railway worth building. after allf
Even Admiral Ammen intimated
doubts as late as 1879. after the dc.
cision Of the Paris Congress, as to
whether the time had come to cut the
lsthmus. II may not be hard to sat
isfy ourselves ON this point In re
port submitted 10 the Navy Depart
ment in 1866 by Admiral c. H. Davis,
an estimate is given Of the tonnage
which would have used canal had
one been in existence, as well as of the
loss inflicted upon commerce because
of rs lack. The former estimate is
3,09A070 tons, which agrees pretty
well with the estimate Of the Paris
Congress for the year 1879 which the
Congress adopted. Admiral Daviss
estimate of the loss annually exper.
fenced by commerce was $40, $50, ,208.
These estimates, made over twenty
years ago, would be evidently too low
for 1887. But even should we assume
that in the course of the past twenty
years no increase of traffic had oc.
Cured, result sufficiently surprising
would be arrived at. The loss to com.
merce in four years would amount to
5000, 100000, about the cost of the
Panama canal according to the esti.
mate of the Paris Congress. This
simple calculation shows the import
ance of the work. Mr.. Bigelow, in
his report, already quoted, says, with
reference to the Panama Canal, ''Were
all nations to contribute toward its
construction in any equitable proper.

rive from it, the stock would be as

First Assistant Porter said to-day thst
the department did not expect to hear
any thing for four or five days yet, not
until the dispatches which Minister
Merrill sent on the Mariposa shall have
been sent overland from San Francisco
and received in Washington. One of
the prominent officers of the depart
ment was asked how much force the
United States had in the Pacific at
present. "We haven't any," was the
reply, lat least, none to speak Of" The
Pacific squadron, with the exception of
the Albert, are wooden sloops and carry
from six to eight smooth bore guns,
worth as much as boys pop gun when
compared with modern artillery. The
Albert is an old vessel of LOTIONS and
carries four guns. If the feet were to
be modified, it would take about ten
years, l guess, if it ever could be done.

that a perfect understanding exists
between Uncle Sam and England in re-

try to have a preponderating influence
therein She is now engaged in a

her power elsewhere. We can never af-
ford to see any other country obtain
influence in Hawaiian
affairs, and if necessary to prevent it,
we should go to war.
